Greetings from the road! Check out the Official Amorphis Mobile Blog on
Nokia’s Royal Artist Club for behind-the-scenes impressions from the US tour
and beyond. More photos & video clips to come…

As announced earlier, Amorphis will embark on a North American tour in September. Esa Holopainen elaborates: “This is our first tour in this region with our latest album, Silent Waters. Tickets are selling well so we can only be happy. We picked Samael and Leaves’ Eyes as support acts because we know the guys and this kind of musical combination offers something for everyone.” The tour kicks off in Atlanta on September 26.

In November Amorphis will enter Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki to record the follow-up to their highly acclaimed Eclipse and Silent Waters albums, which both were awarded gold in Finland. Esa reveals: “We have been working really hard on new material and the new record should be out some time next spring. Thematically, the new material is based on the Kalevala myth of the forging of the skies, and it will again be very epic.”

Two new versions of the Amorphis hoodie introduced by Kalatozulu earlier this year have arrived at the Webshop: a dark grey variant of the men’s sweater (previously offered in black only) and, for the first time, a girlie model (dark grey).
